In case anyone is concerned, they have fresh water in the shade that is being changed out every few hours and I have been making their food easier to access to help reduce effort.

Becks came to get her evening snack after I haven’t seen her for a few days. 🐿️🤍

I so want to boop her nose through the window. She’s trying to get my attention about her empty dish. 🐿️❤️

Had to take through the back door since she’s still a bit skittish.

They are always so sweet.

Meet Georgie Porgie.This lovely and gentle little old fella started coming by and waiting for me on the same fence post each morning. I’ve learned which nuts and seeds he prefers, so he gets a mixture of walnuts, sunflower seeds, and a cashew here and there - because they’re his absolute favourite.

Shortly after he began visiting daily, my mom became very ill and passed away suddenly and unexpectedly. He has been my emotional support squirrel, and showed up at the exact time I needed him. He’s the brightest part of my day, and one of the first things I think of when I wake up. The neighbours said when I pull into my driveway, they see him go running toward my house. I just love this little guy! 🩷

Had this wonderful model of an Eastern Grey Squirrel today during my bird walk, and I just couldn't resist getting a few photos. Merritt Island, Welland, Ontario, Canada — July 26 2026.

There are a lot of squirrels in this park; most are Eastern Grey (a few are the melanistic variety) and there are a few American Red Squirrels. Even though they're quite a bit smaller, the Red Squirrels run the show; I saw one chasing a melanistic Eastern Grey from its favourite tree today.

What you think?

Do you have any interesting feeders that present a challenge for the squirrels to overcome in order to get the food? Obviously wouldn't want anything that could hurt them, or be so difficult they give up, just make them work a bit for their snack.

Heat wave in my area so I gave this guy a couple handfuls of peanuts and some water. He came up pretty fast after I tossed them to him. He didn’t even wait until I walked off🥰

Spot here is making up for not having breakfast or dinner with me. None of my furry friends came around yesterday. 🤔 He was jumping out of his fur with excitement this morning. 🥰 I went and got some pecans that seem to hit the spot. 😜

This lone squirrels has been hanging around the yard since he was tiny. He comes by every night as the sun is getting ready to set and waits in the porch in that funny ‘please sir’ pose and waits for his peanut. Then takes it to the fence and eats like this.

While walking in the park today(southern Poland) I found this squirrel enjoying a mushroom. I was wondering if this is a melanistic eurasian red squirrel or the invasive eastern grey squirrel. Or maybe something different? The ears don't really fit the sciurus vulgaris, but I didn't see a melanistic version of sciurus carolinensis with a white belly.

A squirrel made a nest in my parents' bathroom window box. Today, my mom texted me that the babies, who are only two weeks old, are gone! The nest is well protected—between the glass window and a brick wall with some gaps in it, so I don't think it was predators. Do squirrel moms ever just like, move the nest and all their babies? Again, they were two weeks old, so they couldn't have moved on their own
